A mission with nice view! And it really prove my combat skill...
[SPOILER]I manage to kill Albertina,Arnaldo and Alfredo by using sword, I feel defeat Albertina is easier than other boss, but Raimundo is tough to kill!
I place a lot of mines on Raimundo's patrol route, waiting he trigger them, then he come after me...(exciting running)...I lure him to the bridge room(the room behind starting room),jump off the bridge(AI can't follow me to jump,he just detour), and continue place mine...well, If I did remember, he trigger at least seven mines and still alive.[/SPOILER]
A question about Broadhead arrow, I feel it's useless against undead except for archers, and archers are easy to defeat with sword. When I finish this mission, I have more than 100 Broadhead arrow left...Is there any other use for this weapon?

Raimundo was indeed hard to kill. Before you enter that room, with the lava, and finally meet up with him.
[SPOILER]If you look up, there are some stairs, and a wooden ceiling. I put a rope arrow in the ceiling. I first laid some mines down, didn't phase him in the least. He starts after me, I run to the rope arrow, and climb up, dropped some more mines down on him, and flash bombs as well, he FINALLY died. Rope trick worked, saved my health, he's a pain to do combat with because he's so tough. [/SPOILER]

I´m glad to know you apriciate my architecture, just a tip to kill Raimundo:[SPOILER]I fight with Raimundo using the sword and i slash him on his backrunning around in circles in his back is a good method;) [/SPOILER]

To BrokenArts: I didn't notice that is a wooden ceiling...:sweat:
To cardia1: I'll try that method, though I'm not good at using sword so rapidly...
The architecture is impressive, and I like the mission's name.

Cardia1: This was a great HIT!!! Literally!!! :cool: :thumb:
WOW!!!
It was a tough combat, but I managed, luckily:ebil:
Once or twice I had troubles to rob the skeletons of their loot.
I had to pick them up and throw them in a different way on the floor to collect it all.
I really liked the surroundings ... the hallways .... the stuff to be found on the "marked" areas, as in fire arrows, invisibilty potions, the speed potions a.s.o.
I never had to use the last one though.
It was a great adventure!

It´s good to know that you´ve enjoyed this mission and sucessed to complete it. This mission might have been Tough, but the mission that i´m building at the moment "teddy bear´s curse" won´t have fights...:erm: well i guess i will force the player to kill one creature. but in this mission it will consist with flying ghost harmless teddy bear´s in a old mansion. more details will be added later on in this forum;)

...not for me. I hate plenty of undead, scary missions, hmm I´m not a "quake shooter", really.
When I saw the first room, I tried to go out without being spotted. When the first skeleton saw me, I shouted and run as the hell to the entrance of the room. I really didn´t know, where to go, all the creepy noises and clacks behing my back! Every skeleton I met joined the ugly marathon.
Every turn behind the corner and there was another skeletons! I think, my neighbours thought I was going mad with all the screaming from my flat.
Finnaly, I saw my saving - speed potion. I catched it during my running, emptied, but there was a death end of the room. So with the worst goose flesh I ever had I turn back and runned around the big skeleton marathon.
After a second potion I got a sufficient headstart, so I hide in the black corner. Than quick save - 4:31!!! More than 4,5 minutes I run through this temple terrified to death without stopping.
Then I return to the game and turn back. In the big coridor there was meaby 30 skeletons searching for me! With shaky hand I quit. Never more!!!
I´m one of the longtime fan of this original missions. My harddisk has every mission, that was made. There´s only a few I wasn´t able to end - mostly a missions with undead. But I was never so scared. Never!
Ha ha. Nice description!
It would be funny if people would post youtubes of new people playing Thief missions. Get the action on screen and the reaction of the player.

They should have had a camera on me today. I was playing Mystery at the St. Anne Inn and lamenting to my lady that "(sigh) There just isn't anything left in Thief to really scare me anymore." I mean I used to get scared, but I've seen everything and done everything so many times. The tension just isn't there anymore. A few seconds later there was a sound effect of a cat yowl right behind me as I searched some boxes and I jumped from my reclined position in a chair to hang from the top of the curtains shivering with fear, my eyes glowing like huge white discs.

Same thing with me, but that´s normal because we taffers play to much videogames and fms. I guess the only game were i felt scary was in "Nosfetratus" it has a creepy music, gameplay, ambient, scenarios, and even the cépia color is present like in the very first movies, there is another game were i felt somehow a little bit scary "Undying".
